TOPIC-

Brain changes and behaviour in adolescence (Describe the changes the brain undergoes during

adolescence and give some examples of, and explanations for, adolescent behaviour as a result of

these changes) E.g. key words: Brain AND behaviour AND Adolescent/ts/nce (adolesc*)

GUIDELINES-

Outline the relevant theoretical and research background

Define relevant concepts

Provide a critical analysis of evidence (i.e. compare and contrast empirical research to back up your

arguments)

Integrate theory and research evidence to tell a coherent and a convincing story.

You will need to prepare and submit 2 documents

1.Your recorded PowerPoint presentation (as an PPTX doc) 

2.Your presentation transcript (as a Word doc) 

At least 10 references from great recent peer-reviewed journals  At least 5 of these should be

identified independently (i.e. over and above the recommended reading) This means: 1. Your

information should come from scientific journals 2. Avoid using information that you’ve found on

websites, blogs, etc. 3. You should conduct a proper literature search on PsycInfo and make sure

you’ve covered the literature well 4. Don't just regurgitate the discussion slides! 5. You need to

condense what you’ve learned into a ‘a coherent story’ and answer the given question

PRESENTATION STRUCTURE SLIDES-

1 Title slide • Your first slide should have your presentation title, your student number and your

programme • Come up with your own title, based on the given question.

2 Background / Introduction to the topic • Use the first few slides to provide a broad overview of the

topic you want to cover in your presentation • DON’T just repeat the title as provided in the

handbook. • This is a good place to approach the topic from a wider perspective.

3 The main body of the presentation • Use a few slides to develop your argument • The build-up of

your argument and transition between slides should be smooth and logical • This is the place to

show off your critical thinking skills!

4 Summary/conclusion • Use the last 1-2 slides to provide 3-5 bullet points summary of key

messages you wanted to convey to round up your presentation • Consider the key take home

messages you want the listener to take from listening to your presentation • Have you answered the

question? • Consider practical application • Don’t leave it hanging! • Don’t introduce new

topic/concepts here!

5 Reference list • This must be provided on the last slide • Use APA style!

REFERENCING-

APA 6th Edition  Example of peer-reviewed article:  Van Zalk, N., & Tillfors, M. (2017). Co-

rumination moderates the link between social anxiety and depressive symptoms in early

adolescence. Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health, 11, 1-12. doi:10.1186/s13034-017-

PPT – VISUAL VS. ORAL INFORMATION-

You will be reading out your transcript out loud as you’re switching PowerPoint slides There will be

discrepancy between what you’re reading and what is shown, BUT  You need to balance the text on

the slides and what you are saying e.g.  Slides usually have a few key bullet points over which there

should be a more informative and interesting narrative  Don't mention studies and key concepts

you have not included in your slides  Don't have information on your slides that you are not going

to talk about  Don’t have too much text on the slides; for the listener, it is very difficult to listen and

read at the same time!

VISUAL VS. ORAL INFORMATION – HOW TO CITE •

When making statements or describing studies you wouldn’t necessarily read out full citation, but

these must be on the slide (in parentheses) e.g.:  Slide: Development progresses through several

different stages (Piaget, 1952)  Corresponding transcript: According to Piaget, development

progresses through several different stages.

GOOD EXAMPLE SLIDE: 3-4 PUNCHY BULLET POINTS TO COMPLEMENT A BROADER NARRATIVE

❖ Early adolescents spend more time with friends than families (Bukowski et al., 1991; Fuligni et al.,

2001)

❖ Peers become the most important source of social support (Furman & Buhrmester, 1992)

❖ Some peer interactions might lead to youths feeling worse, for instance, due to co-rumination

(Rose, 2002)
